What creates waves
High energy winds
What are the 4 erosional processes
Hydraulic action, abrasion,attrition,corrosion
Characteristics of constructive waves
They have low energy and have stronger swashes than backwashes
Characteristics of destructive waves
Destructive waves have a weak swash and strong backwash
Factors that influence wave energy
The amount of energy in a wave depends on its height and wavelength as well as the distance over which it breaks

What is hydraulic action
Destructive waves crash into the cliff face and air and water get forced into cracks causing them to expand
What is abrasion
Waves pick up sediment and “throws” the sediment into the cliff face and over time ,the sediment wears away the cliff face
What is attrition
Waves cause rocks and pebbles to smash into each other and become smaller and more rounded
Corrosion is when weak acids in sea water (caused through transpiration of plants) will slowly dissolve certain types of rock such as chalk and limestone as they contain calcium carbonate
